Connecting Arts and Place (eBook, PDF)

Cultural Policy and American Cities

Beschreibung

In this book, Eleonora Redaelli investigates the arts in American cities, providing insight into urban cultural policy discourse through the lens of space. By unpacking the ways in which scholars and policymakers account for geographic configuration and spatial relation, this monograph presents a unique approach to the arts and public policy.

Redaelli analyses five main concepts of the international discourse in cultural policy - cultural planning, cultural mapping, creative industries, cultural districts and creative placemaking - highlighting how each of them contributes to the understanding of how the arts connect with place. Employing a selection of American cities as case, this book is an essential contribution to our understanding of cultural policy and its effects. It will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, public policy, urban studies, arts management and cultural studies.

Rezensionen

"This is an important and timely book as it collates ongoing debates to re-appraise urban arts and culture strategies from a number of disciplinary perspectives. It will provide a highly useful resource for arts management and cultural policy teachers and students since one of its strengths is its coherent presentation of research on the relationship between arts and place as mediated by artist-led and policy interventions, devised from a survey of academic and policy literature and analysis of US city cultural plans." (Abigail Gilmore, The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society, October 7, 2020)

"This book is useful for its extensive and meticulous survey of literature and the use of a radically different conceptual approach to cultural policy studies for scholars and practitioners." (Priya Joseph, Urban Research & Practice, August 14, 2020)

"Redaelli's book is a valuable read not only for experts but also to those people who are new to the field of cultural policy and are keen to explore theoretical debates in practice. This book can equip policymakers, urban planners and cultural professionals with an in-depth analysis the key concepts of cultural policy research and a clear understanding of how these work in practice." (Alice Borchi, International Journal of Cultural Policy, Vol. 26 (2), 2020)
